Martin Luther King, Jr.: 10 good books about the civil rights leader

For the holiday honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., here are 10 books detailing his life and his impact on American history.

5. 'Hellhound On His Trail,' by Hampton Sides

Hellhound On His Trail (Doubleday, 480 pp.) details not only the last weeks of the life of Martin Luther King and his assassination, but the manhunt that erupted afterward, with quick pacing that makes the story of the hunt for James Earl Ray a page-turner. Many unpublished documents are used to reveal new information about how Ray was pursued and caught. Check out the Monitor review of the book here.
